Kassidey found herself telling to whole story to Hallida. For some reason she felt she could trust the elf woman. "Well me and my friend were travelign and she got shot and she didn;t think it was anything serious. I still wanted to stop and check on it all the same but she insisted that we go on. And idiot that I am let her. And now she's in there dying and I can;t do anything. If I had made her stop none of this would have happened. It's all my fault." All the evnts of the day were finally taking a toll on Kassidey. The actual theft, the night on the road, the fight and then Anndy gettign hurt was almost too much for Kassidey. Taking another drink of her ale she could feel herself starting to get tipsy but was to emotional to care at that point. Leeron and Tara brougth the herbs to a boil and together they seeped the linen strips in the mixture. Feelign the sheets on the bed Tara felt they were soaked with sweat and sent Leeron to get others. She could tell Leeron was worried about this girl he had never met, and from the way Kassidey had been acting this girl meant a lot to her too. There would be a lot of peopel that would be more than just a little upset if they lost this girl. Tara was determined to not let that happen. When Leeron came back they changed the sheets and got Andy ready to apply the mixture to the wound.

"Well I think the best thing I can do for you is take this." Hallida said taking her ale. "And give you this." She slide a small cup in front of her. "It is a herbal tea that helps sooth the soul, it will help you calm done and relax, atleast a little."

Kassidey let her take the ale away and looked at teh tea carefully before taking a drink. Surprisingly it was sweet and not bitter like usual herbal teas. Kassidey closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Thanks, and I'm sorry, I'm a wreck right now. If only I had made her stop everything would be ok." Then she laughed at the own state she was in. "I know why Tara wanted me gone." Tara and Leeron carefully wraped the bandages that were seeped in the herbs around Andy's shoulder. After they had done that Tara sprinkled more of the herbs on the bandage and stoked the fire again. She walked to the door then turned around to see Leeron still standing by the bed. "Leeron, boy, come on. There's nothign more we can do for her. Only time will tell. Leeron looked up at Tara,"I thinkI'll just stay for a little while. BE here if she wakes up." Tara smniled knowingly at him then turned and left the room the door shutting behind her.

"DOn't Blame yourself for what is happening or even what happened. You did al you could for her." Hallida said softly. "Right now though what your friend needs the most is you to believe that she will survive, it does help even though it doesn't seem like it."

Kassidey smiled at Hallida,"Thanks, you've made me feel better." Seeign tara come back into the room Kassidey stood up and Tara came over to her. "Weel Kassidey you;ve gotten yourself into a heap of trouble this time. Your friend shoudl be ok. The dart dhe was hit with was poisoned. I'm amazed she made it as far as she did. She should be ok. She's still unconcious but you can go see her if you want. Leeron is back there too." Kassdiey hugged Tara and said," Thank you so much, Tara." Adn with that she wa soff and running towards the room. Tara looked at Hillda and remarked, "You worked wonders on that girl, I thought she would be drunk by the time I was through with her friend." Kassidey knocked softly on the door and waited until she heard Leeron say she could come in. She pushed the door open slightly and looked inside. She walked calmly over to the bed and stood next to Leeron lookign down at her prone friend. Feelign an hand on her shoulder dhe looked up at Leeron as he said, "She's going to be ok. But how are you?" "Leeron, you haevn;t changed a bit," Kassidey said with a smile as she gave the friend that had been an older brother to her a hug. "I'm better now, I'm still worried about Andy though. "Yeah, you were pretty worked up coming in here. Come on coem sit down and we can talk. I haven;t seen you in a year." They walked over to a cornor of the room where there was a table and chairs and they sat down and started talking. Telling each other what had been goign on while they hadn;t seen each other. Kind of surprising to Kassidey, Leeron seemed to be asking a lot of questions about Andy. SHe just answered each one with a smile but didn't say anything else.

"Glad I could help." Hallida said to Kassidey as she left. SHe leaned back in the chair. "Well the ale didn't seem to be helping her calm down so I just gave her some tea and advice. So, Tara do you know exactly why those two are in town?" SHe asked looking at the door.
Andy had finally stopped sweating and was recovering from the poison with ease. Her consciousness started to come to her and she could hear Kassidey talk with a man. She openned her eyes seeing that the man was the one that had greeted them coming in, but when she tried to remember anything after that she drew a blank. "What happened?" She said softly.

Kassidey jumped when she heard Andy talking and she was over at the bed and gave her a hug, "Andy, you're alright!" Leeron laughed,"Kassidey I think she knows that much." Then he turned to look at Andy and said,"Well what happened exactly was you teo came riding up. You fell of your horse and into my arms and I brought you in here. Where Kassidey proceeded to have a break down and Tara and I helped fix you up. Apparently when you got shot by the bolt it was poisoned. I'm Leeron by the way," he said smiling at her.
"Hillida, I have no idea. I haven't seen Kassidey in a year and she comes in here, her friend is wounded, shes carrying round those bags and not lettign anyone touch them. She told us that her friend was shot, nut that was it. From the way it was poisoned I would say its from the empire. I think we're only getting half the story here." Tara said with a sigh.

Andy hugged Kassidey back and sat up in the bed fighting back the pain in her arm. "It is nice to meet you Leeron." Andy said smiling back at him. "And that you for the help." Andy dropped her voice down to a whisper now as she talked to Kassidey. "Are the eggs alright?"
Hillida looked down at the table deep in thought. "I'm guess your going to wait to let them tell the story?" She asked.

Kassidey nodded,"They haven't left my sight." She glanced to where the bags were sitting next to chair. Leeron scratched the back of his head and said,"I'm going to go get Tara, she will want to know you are up. It was nice to meet you," he said with a smile to Andy then left the room.
"That's the only choice I have. I will push Kassidey to tell me but I can't make her do anything.," Tara sighed.

"Good," ANdy said with a sigh of relief. She was glad that she had atleast gotten the eggs safely here. "It was nice to meet you too." She said with a smile as Leeron left.
"What if they have done something that could start a war." Hallida said her voice serious. "Or what is they are in allance to the Empire. This is least likely but we must keep alert. If they started something we will have to be ready to face. Just try and find out what is going on soon, it could mean disaster if you do not."

"I think we should stay here for the night," Kassidey suggested, thinking it would be best to see if Andy was really going to be ok. "This is the room my family normally stays in so I'm sure we can just stay here for the night."
Leeron went out and found Tara talking with Hillida and stood back to catch the end of the conversation before he interupted them. Tara looked aorund nervously and said," I highly doubt that Kassidey would be in alliance with the Empire. I have known her family for years, she is like a daughter to me. I mean they are obviously keeping soemthing secret, but i don't think Kassidey would do anyhting too dangerous." Leeron shook his head, Tara didn;t know Kassidey like he did. He knew very well Kassidey always loved a risk. Acting like he hadn;t heard anything he walked up to Tara. "Andy is awake and Kassidey is in there with her," he said.

"Alright. I think we could use the night's sleep." Andy said with a smile.
"Still be ready, she could be hiding anything." Hallida said to Tara as Leeron came up to them. "I will stay her for the remainder of their stay." She said standing and with a slight nod of her head she headed to a room off to the side.

Tara nodded," I take it she is doing alright then?" "Yes, they are both fine," Leeron replied. "I will send Barton in to check up on them." And with that Tara went off to find her husband.
"It's better than being on the road," Kassidey said as Barton walked into the room. "Well I see you are awake and feeling better," Barton chuckled,"You'll be staying for the nigth im assuming." "Of course, Barton. Do you think we can get dinner brought here?" Kassidey said with a friendly smile. "I will send Leeron up," he said as he closed the door to the room on his way out.

"Everyone here is so nice." Andy said as Barton left. "THis is the first time I have been out of the Empire or Koram(Where the story started) for that matter. I'm glad to be free of it, it's like stone chains have been lifted from me."
